The M10264 GPS RADIONOVA RF antenna module from Antenova Ltd. has been selected by Blackroc Technology for its C32M/G 2-megapixel high-resolution camera. The antenna module provides embedded GPS capability, allowing the camera to geotag captured images. As Tony Jephcott, Managing Director of Blackroc Technology, notes, "The small size, accuracy, and reliable performance of the module coupled with the fact that it easily integrated into our existing design and form factor made it the ideal choice for adding GPS to our C32M camera. The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) software provides improved accuracy from standard GPS of around 15 m to between 1 and 2 m accuracy."
